Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Adeptus Ministorum (section)

=====Characters=====
*'''Aestred Thurga and Agathae Dolan:''' A paired unit, but Aestred carries with her a super-banner called the Auto-Tapestry of the Emperor's Judgment - once per game, this can be invoked to grant all {{W40kKeyword|Adepta Sororitas Core}} units within 6" the ability to use all rites at once until your next command phase.
**Agathae, despite being the designated shield, has other uses that you'll need. Each turn she can give a sororitas character the ability to re-roll one hit, wound, or damage roll until the next command phase. She also lets you use the Open the Reliquaries stratagem once for free, which can be great for smaller games.
*'''[[Orders Dialogous|Dialogus]]''': +1 LD to {{W40kKeyword|Adepta Sororitas Core}} or {{W40kKeyword|Character}} units within 6", and she allows you to increase or decrease the value on a Miracle Die used for an Act of Faith by a unit within 6" by one to a maximum of 6 and minimum of 1. The ability to modify Miracle Dice is pretty handy, turning an otherwise-worthless 2 into a 3 that hits, for example, which can be great when you really need that meltagun or inferno pistol to connect. Also helpful is that she won't eat up a slot if taken alongside a Canoness, which you absolutely should. She also is a Priest model who can intone a Hymn, increasing her value.
*'''[[Dogmata]]:''' A new character made to play as an equivalent to the Chaplain. She comes with a whopper of a mace and has an aura to let her sisters perform objective actions and shoot at the same time, which is situational. What isn't is her other ability, which lets one {{W40kKeyword|<Order> Core}} unit within 6" during the Command Phase gain ObSec for the turn (or count as having double models if they already have it) - that'll always have a use.
**'''Smash Priest:''' Bloody Rose, chanting the Psalm of Righteous Smiting and The Passion sacred rite. If you can spare a Warlord trait, Righteous Rage.
*'''[[Sister Hospitaler|Hospitaller]]''' (sic): She's got a Sister character statline, with the ability to heal wounded models and a small 6+++ aura. Honestly, it's hard to get much value out of her as most your infantry units are only W1. She might be good if you're running the Triumph of Saint Katherine or other characters, as they will probably want healing. She can, however, bring three models back with a stratagem- three Celestian Sacresants coming back seems nice.
**Notably, she does not have {{W40kKeyword|<Order>}} and can't benefit from Canoness or Imagifier buffs despite busting her ass to help others.
*'''[[Imagifier]]''': The Imagifier is a banner-bearing character with an average statline. The reason you take her is that, at the beginning of the game, she chooses one of three abilities.
*#Tale of the Faithful: Re-roll advance and charge for {{W40kKeyword|<Order> Core}} units within 6", which is the primary reason you'll tale her.
*#Tale of the Warrior: +1 Strength for {{W40kKeyword|<Order> Core}} units within 6".
*#Tale of the Stoic: Attacks against {{W40kKeyword|<Order> Core}} units within 6" take -1 to wound rolls if the attack is S3 or lower, which means you're T4 against S3 and S2 and most Poison. Only worth it against lasguns and Dark Eldar splinter weapons (and AdMech radium carbines, although not as much, since the reduction won't help stop an auto-wound).
**Overall the Imagifier is a very useful unit, because of how well she can help you make a charge. Originally auto-include to help buff a unit of Repentia, that role is now better performed by the Repentia Superior, since S6 with +1 to wound is better in all case than S7.
*'''[[Preacher]]:''' The missionary's little brother who also gets prayers, though they only get War Hymn. These guys are much more efficient than the Missionary, especially since you can take more than one. Critical if you want to get the most out of your melee options, these are even more important to Repentia than a Repentia Superior. They also, as a small bonus, inflict a -1 Leadership penalty on nearby {{W40Kkeyword|CHAOS}} units. If you are playing in a Legends legal game, they suddenly become a whole lot better. They gain access to Frag and Krak Grenades as well as all of the {{W40Kkeyword|ASTRA MILITARUM}} Ministorum Priest's Index wargear, such as Combi-weapons, Plasma Guns, Eviscerators, beefier pistols and the like.
**'''[[Blackstone_Fortress#The_Playable_Characters|Pious Vorne]]:''' Blackstone Fortress model which is effectively the model for the stock preacher loadout with the Zealot's Vindictor weapon
*'''[[Sisters Repentia| Repentia Superior]]:'''A dedicated support character for Repentia. Adds +1 to wound rolls for all nearby Repentia (not including hereelf), and adds an unkept 1d6 to Advance and Charge rolls for one {{W40kKeyword|<Order> Repentia}} unit within 6" and allows Advance + Charge; both benefits apply to herself and the selected Repentia. Doesn't take up a slot if you have any Sisters Repentia of the same order. If you've got the points to spare and a squad of Repentia in your list, take her.
